I still think about you sometimes, Nerdnoise.	[27 Feb 2009\|11:14am]
It was a good club, while it lasted. But as all things that eventually come to an end, it lives on; in our hearts, in our minds, in the hard drives of random strangers on the University of Chicago's International House iTunes shared music network.Apparently, someone with a computer named "Ula", coincidentally the last computer on the alphabetical list, and the only shared music I looked at, had a Nerdnoise compilation CD from 2000. I need your help, Nerdnoise. I wish to let this person know that they are awesome.

Berkeley summer student wants cooperative living with other Nerds	[14 May 2008\|05:31pm]
I am returning to UC after a Reed College escapade and will be studying Cognition and Politics. As anyone who's ever found themselves at Reed College, I am a nerd, not the stubborn fashionable kind, but a real nerd. I'm 21 and I'm a dude, though not very manly. I arrive in the middle of June for classes starting on the 23rd and I potentially could crash around with some people if you don't have space until later. I'm going to stay at Berkeley through the Fall, but it's ok if I have to move somewhere else at the end of the summer. I only know a few people in who actually live in Berkeley and I don't necessarily want to live with them, so I'm going to resort to craigslist. I just want to find somewhere with incredibly decent people who start things and know things, and who I can have real conversations (you know, "rational" ones) with. I guess my personality is peaceful-ish (I feel overstimulated pretty often and think peace a fundamental necessity before anything can get done), but I also love Science and deliberately bringing up contradictory viewpoints (including ones that contradict the western industrialist invention of Science itself), so I'm not sure my personality is really classifiable. I like being outside anytime it's sunny, I like quiet music all the time. I sort of like talking about computer theoretical stuff and people are pretty interesting (why I'm studying cognition). I've done a good amount of thinking about human computer interaction so if you're into that feel free to ask me about it. I've made money mostly doing little programming gigs but I don't really like programming. I just like thinking about the potential of computers and the way people use them. I'm told I can be really spacey and also be really normal: you never know when.

Hi! I want to let you all know of a community I made. It's called dailypeppers and it's for fans of the band Red Hot Chili Peppers. Here you can post anything about the band, as much as your heart desires! I'd like for this to become an active place where fans can all get together and have some fun while discussing RHCP. Please join if you're interested!

Hey, dead community! I have a plan. So if anyone's still around in the East Bay (or even farther if you're really hardcore), I want to buy a few buckets of sidewalk chalk and chalk up some electioneering for James Brown. Or, really, any other musical figure that you happen to like. It'd be fun, take maybe an hour, and I haven't had a chance to use my mad chalking calligraphy skills since, like, forever. C'MON IT'LL BE AWESOME! ~~I'm thinking, like, Tuesday night? Anyone up for this?~~Edit: HEY LET'S DO THIS FOR APRIL FOOL'S. Monday night! C'mon! Edit 2: Call it 10:00 at that Ludwig's Fountain in Sproul?Edit 3: Yes! Also, my suggestion below of thirty bucks of sidewalk chalk may have been hasty, given that it appears a bucket is three bucks, max. I'm just going to get a fuck-ton of sidewalk chalk, and whatever we use, we use.

Ok kids,Festivus on Dec 11. We can hold it at Stebbins, but I don't know how central of a location that is so if someone else wants to volunteer their strategically-located apartment, that might be good. Regardless of whose household it is, kinghorse will be considered the "head" for wrestling purposes, as Mr. Reznick will be celebrating his birth in addition to all the disappointments our births have caused him. I think it would also be nice to do a white elephant gift exchange. y/n?Please comment to approve/disapprove of Stebbins or to volunteer to host so we can figure this out.xoxoMichelle

Hey y'all,Awhile ago I got a message saying scaffolding needed a new owner or it would be deleted. Did you guys get this/do you know what I am talking about? What came of it? Do we need to create a new list or does scaffolding live?

The Hold Steady at Slim's on May 30	[23 May 2007\|12:45am]
Hi, I hope this isn't inappropriate...I just found this community on LJ, and I haven't been to any actual meetings (though maybe I will next year :) ). I thought I'd give this a shot anyway. My friend and I are looking for a pair of face value tickets ($17 each or so) for the Hold Steady at Slim's (in SF) on May 30. I'm willing to trade my ticket for the Arcade Fire at the Greek on June 2 (I'm already going to see them on June 1), if the seller is interested. The Arcade Fire ticket is worth about $35.Please? :)
